12 years for abusing two minors, recording women and distributing paedophile material

Twelve years and one month in jail were given to a man by the Third Section of the Alicante Provincial Court for abusing two minors, recording several women in the bathrooms of their homes, and making and giving out paedophile material.
The High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) says the accused has been found guilty of six crimes related to finding and telling secrets, two crimes related to sexual abuse of a minor, and crimes related to making child pornography and having and giving away child pornography.
Besides that, the man has to pay the two women who were abused 15,000 and 20,000 euros each in legal liability. Five thousand euros will be given to each of the other victims, who were women and adults and were taped in the privacy of their own homes.
During the December 11th trial, the prosecution, the private prosecution, and the defence of the man who was later found guilty all agreed on the facts that were proven, how they should be interpreted legally, and the sentence that should be given.
The events started in 2009 when the suspect started dating a woman. They were together until 2017, and during that time he lived with her and her two young children in different homes in Dénia (Alicante).
The man put a hidden video camera in the bathroom of these homes so that children or people who sometimes visited could see what was going on.
The device took private pictures of the prisoner’s partner and her 12-year-old daughter, as well as another child who lived in the house and used it, and saved the pictures on a computer.
The accused started seeing another woman with two young girls at the end of 2017. In 2019, he moved in with them in a house in the city of Dianense.
As in the first case, the guy who was found guilty recorded his partner having sex without her permission and saved the video to his phone.
He also touched the woman’s two young daughters when they were between 5 and 6 years old and 7 and 8 years old. He recorded these sexual acts and saved the edited pictures on a computer with child abuse content.
In January 2021, a neighbour asked him if he could change a light bulb in the bathroom, to which the convict agreed and took advantage of this circumstance to also install a hidden camera under the sink in that bathroom.
The device also took private pictures of the renter’s daughter and herself, in which they both looked naked.
On March 9, 2021, the defendant’s home was broken into and searched. Several computers, hard drives, and cell phones were among the electronic devices found. These were used by the man to store a lot of paedophile audiovisual files for his own use and to share with other people.
The decision was made orally, and it was made official at the hearing itself when both sides said they would not be appealing it.

Hospitality and recreation establishments in Elche receive 36 infringement reports from local police

The Elche Local Police conducted an operation that involved inspecting thirteen hospitality and leisure outlets in various neighbourhoods, resulting in one arrest and 36 violations. The data was made public on Friday, 28th March, mainly as a reminder of the work that is being done. Councilman Juan de Dios Navarro gave the police top for their efforts.
According to local police inspector José Antonio Corrales, the majority of the infractions included drug usage and possession, including four for cocaine possession and seven for hashish, as well as improper company documentation. Additionally, there were two reports for disturbing the peace or disrespecting law enforcement, four for not following the minimum hygienic standards for food storage, one serious infraction for conducting the activity after hours and behind closed doors, and seven for irregularities found on the property, including improper documentation.
Additionally, officers found six infractions for permitting smoking in unapproved indoor locations, three for type “B” slot machine identification guide deficiencies, and one major infraction for emergency escape and door flaws. Additionally, a report was made about the selling of illegal tobacco at a pub, where 20 packets were confiscated and one individual was detained on court order and imprisoned.

Visitor to Catral cemetery locked inside

As nightfall approached on one of these soggy spring days in March, a young man decided it would be a good idea to visit a cousin or acquaintance’s grave and take a walk through the cemetery. Because the cemetery still closes its (automatic) gates at six o’clock at this time of year, but without the winter gloom that may discourage anyone from going.
However, the door was locked when he attempted to exit. The visitor didn’t seem to want to spend any more time among the cemeteries, despite the cemetery’s reputation as a particularly tranquil spot. Unaware of the placard bearing the mobile phone number for anyone needing help, he dashed out the gate. It was all on camera.
JoaquÃn Lucas, the mayor of Catral, maintains that this occurrence is unrelated to the privatisation of the cemetery works and feels that management by an outside company is an efficient approach to provide this service in a municipal office. He went on to say that the young man who who was locked in is from the nearby municipality of Dolores rather than Catral.
The local police took to social media and atacked the man’s “reckless” behaviour. He has been named in connection with “criminal proceedings for a crime against another’s property.” Nonetheless, the business will be liable for any damages brought on by the damaged door anchors.
In addition to clarifying that the business employs two workers—a gravedigger and a labourer who maintains the communal areas and restrooms—the Councillor for Services, Daniel Escudero, reaffirmed that the automatic door is an option offered by the company itself.

Five arrested in Alicante and Murcia for shoplifting

Five individuals involved in grocery theft have been taken into custody by the Guardia Civil. In the regions of Alicante and Murcia, the thieves were stealing in a number of locations for a well-known supermarket company. The things that were stolen are worth over 8,000 euros in total.
The investigation started after the retail chain representative filed a complaint. The pattern was consistent across all cases: three or four people went into the store, and one of them loaded up a cart with expensive things like canned goods, extra virgin olive oil, sausages, or alcoholic drinks. The last one hurried out of the grocery without paying, and another diverted the attention of the staff.
It was discovered that the same people were responsible for the crimes in multiple towns in Alicante and Murcia after examining the security footage from the impacted businesses. Since the suspects did not live in the residences where they were registered and lacked a stable address, it was very difficult to find them.
Shortly after committing another theft at a store in a suburban neighbourhood of Rojales (Alicante), officers caught two of the suspects off guard and took them into custody. Many of the stolen goods were found at that time and brought back to the impacted business.
The other three were later taken into custody in the cities of Almoradà (Alicante) and Guardamar del Segura. The majority of the pilfered items were sold on. Additionally, the two cars that were utilised in the crimes were taken.
Eleven thefts have been resolved as a consequence of the investigation conducted by the Novelda Civil Guard’s investigation section. The cities of Novelda, Torrevieja, AlmoradÃ, Catral, and Rojales in Alicante as well as the municipalities of San Javier, Jumilla, San Pedro del Pinatar, Cartagena, Archena, and Caravaca de la Cruz in Murcia were the sites of these crimes.
